Connellite specimens for sale

Connellite is a copper sulfate chloride mineral that forms as blue-green crystals and sometimes crusts or botryoidal masses. It typically displays a vitreous to submetallic luster and can occur in radiating or tabular crystal habits, revealing its distinctive aural-like edges in hand specimens. The mineral’s composition includes copper, sulfate, chloride, and water, contributing to its characteristic color and hydration state, while localities have produced well-formed crystals and attractive aggregates. Classic specimens come from notable localities in the United Kingdom and the United States, with other important sources in Russia that have yielded vivid, well-terminated crystals.
